harryharold Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Right the EB-0 has been lying around half done for a good month now, which is at least a month too long, and i need to finish it off. I have been looking at getting hold of a DiMarzio model 1 but it's quite hard to find one. Also i have recently considered a Darkstar pickup for that vintagey tone. Anyone got any sort of clue where i can find one of these? I could resort to asking Bass Centre to source me them though i have found that ordering specific things through a shop as being a little more expensive than just finding one for sale. Does anyone know where i can find these? Thoman did have the model 1 in stock for a bit but not now, and also that shop looks dodgy and there are many stories of woe about their customer service. Any pointers will be great, also if theres another pickup that i have neglected that can do a similar sound (i know these 2 aren't that similar but they are both passive high impedance monsters) let me know.

BigRedX Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Don't know about DiMarzios, but your best bet for a Dark Star is [url="http://www.hammoneng.com/ordering1.htm"]direct from the maker[/url]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I've got all the Model Ones, mwahahahaha. Put a wanted up, I'll let you get the next one, even though my dual Model One P is so sweet, and so black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I've got an old model one in my drawer. It's pretty well used, and there is a crack in the epoxy on the back (where it has been dropped at some point) which has been repaired with glue. However, it's fully working and could be had super cheap (say £15 posted?). PM me if interested. I've moved over to a Darkstar for my electric bass needs...
